Entrapment of the long head of the biceps tendon: the hourglass biceps—a cause of pain and locking of the shoulder

Lesions of the long head biceps tendon (LHB) are frequent causes of shoulder pain and disability. Biceps tenotomy and tenodesis have gained widespread acceptance as effective procedures to manage both isolated LHB pathology and combined lesions of the rotator cuff and biceps-labral complex. The function of the LHB tendon and its role in glenohumeral kinematics presently remain only partially understood because of the difficulty of cadaveric and in vivo biomechanical studies. The purpose of this article is to offer an up-to-date review of the anatomy and biomechanical properties of the LHB and to provide an evidence-based approach to current treatment strategies for LHB disorders.

Anatomy, Function, Injuries, and Treatment of the Long Head of the Biceps Brachii Tendon

This paper describes the current views on the pathology of lesions of the tendon of the long head of biceps and their management. Their diagnosis is described and their surgical management classified, with details of the techniques employed.

ASPECTS OF CURRENT MANAGEMENT The long head of biceps and associated tendinopathy

The long head of the biceps tendon is a known pain generator of the shoulder. There are numerous pathologic entities that may affect this tendon, including tendonitis, partial tearing, and subluxation. These conditions are often associated with rotator cuff tears, especially those involving the subscapularis. Operative interventions include tenotomy and tenodesis. Tenodesis can be preformed in a proximal or distal location. Subpectoral tenodesis may have a lower recurrence rate than proximal-based techniques.

The role of the bicipital groove in tendopathy of the long biceps tendon

QUESTIONS What is the mid term result of open rotator cuff repair? What are the criteria for a good surgical result? METHODS Between February 1988 and December 1993 130 patients (135 shoulders) underwent surgery for rotator cuff repair. All surgical techniques were combined with a acromioplasty--transosseous refixation, transtendinous suture, isolated or combined transfers of tendons. The retrospective analysis consisted of clinical examination including the Constant score, X-rays and sonograms of the shoulder before and after surgery. RESULTS 95 patients (98 shoulders) were controlled 4 years and 8 months after surgery by clinical, radiological and sonographical examination. 80% of all cases showed good or very good long term results by chiefly transosseous refixation alone or in combination with tendon transfer. Analysis of all data made it possible to create simple prognostic criteria. These criteria can help preoperatively to give an idea of the expected outcome. CONCLUSION The best preoperative criteria for a prognostic good surgical result were an acromion-humeral head distance in the native true a.p.-X-ray of more than 7 mm, a rotator cuff defect of less than 2 x 3 cm and a passive free range of motion.
